What they do well

  • Durability

    Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.

Where they leak

  • Ground game

    Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain.

  • Counter punching

    Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.

  • Punching agility

    Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.

Scouting report

Jennifer Maia is a 37-year-old Orthodox women's flyweight out of Brazil, camped at Chute Boxe. The tape read: pocket striker. Career mark 23-10-1 — 0 by KO/TKO, 5 by submission, 18 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (65).

What works. Durability is the standout at 91 (A+). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 0.42 TD/15 and 0.08 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 59% / 3.08 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 83% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 2 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (24, D). Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain. Opponents who force wrestling and keep the fight on the fence have historically been the ones who make this résumé leak. Losses lean decision more often than a highlight — the issue is usually control of minutes, not a glass jaw.

Recent tape (2 bouts): W O'Neill (Decision - Unanimous R3) · L Fiorot (Decision - Unanimous R3). Form index positive over the last 2. 1 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.

Ground game

24 D

Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain.

  • 0.42 takedowns / 15 at 28% accuracy
  • 0.08 submission attempts / 15 · 5 career sub wins

Striking defense

66 C+

Eats more than a championship pocket should. High SApM or a porous guard will get taxed against power.

  • 59% striking defense · 3.08 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 10 defeats

Counter punching

34 D

Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.

  • 44% accuracy on 4.35 SLpM
  • 0.10 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

58 C

Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent.

  • Str def 59% · TD def 83% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.08 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

45 D

Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.

  • 4.35 SLpM at 44% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.08 SApM

Takedown reaction

65 C+

Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.

  • 83% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 1 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

91 A+

Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 10 losses
  • 18 decision wins — proof they last and still score
